Are Different Characters Like Color and Shape Inherited Together or Inherited Independently?
Mendel performed dihybrid crosses to find out.
Mendel’s conclusion: Different characters are inherited independently.
![Page 3: THE DIHYBRID CROSS](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081503/56813bd7550346895da5001d/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Why Did Mendel Conclude That The Inheritance of one Trait is Independent of Another?
The alternative and incorrect hypothesis: dependent inheritance.
Because it’s the only way to explain the pattern of inheritance.

The Independent Alignment of Different Pairs of Homologous Chromosomes At Meiosis Accounts for the Principle of Independent Assortment
The alignment of one pair of homologs is independent of any other.
Principle of Independent Assortment: The assortment of one pair of genes into gametes is independent of the assortment of another pair of genes.

Peas & Humans
Consider a cross between parents heterozygous for both deafness and albinism.
This is the same 9:3:3:1 ratio seen for Mendel’s cross involving pea color and shape.

A dihybrid cross can be treated as two
separate monohybrid crosses
The expected probability of each type of seed can be calculated:
Probability of an F2 seed being round = 75% or ¾
Probability of an F2 seed being wrinkled =
Probability of an F2 seed being yellow =
Probability of an F2 seed being green =
![Page 12: THE DIHYBRID CROSS](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081503/56813bd7550346895da5001d/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
A dihybrid cross can be treated as two
separate monohybrid crosses
The expected probability of each type of seed can be calculated:
Probability of an F2 seed being round = 75% or ¾
Probability of an F2 seed being wrinkled = 25% or ¼
Probability of an F2 seed being yellow = 75% or ¾
Probability of an F2 seed being green = 25% or ¼
![Page 13: THE DIHYBRID CROSS](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081503/56813bd7550346895da5001d/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Therefore
Probability of an F2 seed being round and yellow = ¾ x ¾ = 9/16 = 56.25%
Probability of an F2 seed being round and green =
Probability of an F2 seed being wrinkled and yellow =
Probability of an F2 seed being wrinkled and green =

Therefore
Probability of an F2 seed being round and yellow = ¾ x ¾ = 9/16 = 56.25%
Probability of an F2 seed being round and green = ¾ x ¼ = 3/16 = 18.75%
Probability of an F2 seed being wrinkled and yellow = ¼ x ¾ = 3/16 = 18.75%
Probability of an F2 seed being wrinkled and green = ¼ x ¼ = 1/16 = 6.25%

THE LAW OF INDEPENDENT ASSORTMENT
It appears that the inheritance of seed shape has no influence over the inheritance of seed colour
The two characters are inherited INDEPENDENTLY
The pairs of alleles that control these two characters assort themselves independently

Dihybrid test cross
In monohybrid crosses, to know if a dominant trait is homozygous (RR) or heterozygous (Rr) it is necessary to carry out a test cross
This is done with a homozygous recessive (rr) individual
The same is true for a dihybrid cross where the test cross is made with an individual which is homozygous recessive for both characters (rryy)
